Today I’m pleased to be joined with my friend and client, Austin Kapetanakis. In this episode we discuss and review the 2023 CrossFit Quarterfinal events.

This was a jam packed episode covering many facets of training, competing, and testing.

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness!

Today I discuss the differences between pacing and full effort.

I recently listened to an episode of the Varied Not Random podcast with Adrian Bozman and Pat Sherwood where they answered a listener Q & A regarding which is better, pacing or going full-send with your workouts.

I wanted to add my thoughts to this discussion with the hope of providing an alternative way of looking at effort and training.

I broke this episode up into 4 parts:

1st - Defining the terms to be discussed and identifying what the underlying goals are

2nd - Designing appropriate training and how that plays a role in this discussion

3rd - The moderation between high-intensity and sustainability

4th - Reasons for Pacing and Full Effort

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness!

Today I’m honored to be speaking with my colleague Michael Bann.

He has been coaching for the past 15 years and has work with thousands of people throughout that time.

In this episode, I wanted to pick his brain on his coaching philosophy and how he’s changed his mind on movement and coaching movement over the years.

The areas we covered were the following:

“The last coach you’ll ever need”

How his perspective on movement and movement asymmetries have evolved over the years

Saying “no” more often and how he teaches this to his clients

Learning to create space for clients to become more aware of themselves allowing them to upgrade their own understanding

Why coaching is an investment in yourself

And why a coaches job is to call people up and make them better

Below you can find the links to the books he mentions in the podcast along with how you can get ahold of him if you are interested in working with 1:1

Books:

When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness!

Today I’m honored to be speaking with the newest addition to our Crafted Coaching team, Colleen Fotsch.

We had a wonderful conversation talking about her athletic career, stories from our time working together during her competitive days, and how she’s navigated the change in her identity from the athlete towards the next chapter of being a coach and data analyst.

I’m going to read a short bio of hers to give some of you more insight into who she is and what she has done. So bear with me for a moment as I read this.

Colleen is an elite athlete in multiple sports and an all around bad-ass human. She started out as a 5-time All-American swimmer at UC Berkeley, where her team won multiple NCAA D1 championships. After college, Colleen poured her heart into a new sport– CrossFit. She went on to compete at the CrossFit Games as both an individual athlete and in the team division. In 2020, Colleen was recruited to join the National USA Bobsled Team and added yet another impressive adventure to her athletic resumé.

Although she’s now retired from competitive athletics, she maintains her athletic spirit as a full-time data analyst putting in hours in the office while still training hard and enjoying life. While pursuing her masters degree, Colleen developed a passion for helping people balance effective training with all of the other facets of life– work, school, family, and friends. Colleen has taken her knowledge and experience competing at the highest level to develop Crafted: Perform.

Crafted Perform is our newest program aimed at crafting performance for life outside the arena.

You can use the link below to access her program and sign up today.

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness!

Today I go in-depth on a KPI in the sport of CrossFit that doesn’t get discussed very often or at all. I wrote about it a few years back and I called it, “rate.”

In this episode I go over the following with regards to “rate”:

-What rate is, using data from past Open and Semifinal results

-Why it is important in the sport

-A framework for thinking about it and it’s progression as an athlete develops

-How to test it

-How to train and progress it

In the show notes you’ll find a link to the blog post I wrote that has specific numbers and progressions that I mentioned in the episode. Feel free to use them and test them out.

Hey guys, welcome back to Crafting Fitness!

Today I’m pleased to be joined with my colleague, Henry Torano. We both recently saw a post from Ben Bergeron saying that CrossFit Games athletes have healthy bodies. Henry and I both have differing viewpoints on this statement and wanted to share our thoughts on why we see sport and health being mutually exclusive.

Our aim for this discussion was to share an opposing viewpoint to the one stated and to add perspective on why we think sport sits outside of longevity and health regardless of what that sport entails.

Today Mike and I discuss why you need goals.

I saw a quote recently that made me pause and reflect upon why we have goals and what the true purpose a worthy goal serves.

In this episode, we discuss:

What purpose does a goal serve and the benefits it provide not only in the short-term but also in the long-term

We discuss what you are truly getting out of pursuing a goal; the deeper purpose behind a goal

We add our own stories and paths through life thus far to provide an example of how goals serve a bigger purpose than achievement alone.

Finally, we close with some practical considerations on how to pick a worthy goal. What measures you can use to determine if this goal is a worthy one that will elicit the deeper purpose you want out of a goal.

Today Mike and I discuss a question I received from one of my instagram Q and A’s.

The question was, “muscle fatigue before breathing when performing conditioning work.”

I thought this was a good question and an opportunity to elaborate on how both Mike and I think about developing capacity and fixing limitations.

In this episode, we discuss how one’s body, limb length, muscle mass, training background, and essence can play a role in fatigue

We discuss the importance around knowing what you are performing and when are you fatiguing when performing it to help figure out what might be happening

We discuss how to train and improve capacity through a framework I use that looks at the Lungs, Heart, Muscles on a spectrum for developing capacity.

And lastly, we discuss some of the different approaches Mike and I use in program design to help develop muscle endurance and capacity with our clients.
